BikeIT is a professionally developed product. As professional software
developers, our aim was to produce a training diary that is a robust, fast and fully
featured system. In an attempt to provide the most secure environment possible, we
have developed the system using an industry standard, high profile fully relational
database engine. We shall keep your hard work safe by keeping your data safe. To
help do this, we have given you the following four database administration tools.

It is good practice to backup your databases regularly. BikeIT stores the
history of your backups. You may add notes to your backup history through the Database
Restore screen. Note that the backups are placed in a directory called Backup.
These files can be restored through the BikeIT system or manually by following the
instructions in the Help. The files that are created should ideally be copied to a
floppy disk and kept separately from your system.

If there is a problem with your data and it cannot be repaired, then there
is the option to restore a previous backup up version of your database. BikeIT stores the
history of your backups. This is a simple task. Copy the database to the backup directory
if you are rebuilding an image from floppy, then select the corresponding version from
Restore table and click on the restore pushbutton.

If there is a problem with your data, BikeIT includes the functionality to
repair a database.

Note that during our stress test of BikeIT, we loaded BikeIT with thirty (30) years of
data at seven (7) rides a week, every week. We had no affect on performance and the
database size was a small footprint of less than four (4) megabytes.
